I am a licensed Therapist and Sport Psychology Clinician who has been working with athletes of all ages for close to 10 years. My passion for working with athletes began after a season ending knee injury playing collegiate basketball. I have had a total of three knee surgeries since then, and my mission is to ensure that injured athletes don’t have to go through their recovery alone. I designed this training to be practical, easily applicable and simple to understand and follow. I also want you to feel like I am going through this injury alongside you. Injury recovery is hard and is experienced differently for every athlete, even if you have the same injury more than once. I believe it’s essential to own your own recovery path and learn the best coping practices and techniques that suit you, ensuring that you return to your sport and your life in the best way possible.
